Music at Saint John Cantius

Throughout the year St. John Cantius Church offers music events, concerts, as well as Sacred Music for our various Masses and devotions. From organ concerts and chamber music to opera, theater, drama and the much loved tradition of Lessons and Carols! Our Sunday Masses regularly feature Gregorian chant as well as musical offerings from our several choirs, ranging from the Renaissance period and the Viennese choral tradition to modern choral works that are consonant with the Roman tradition of sacred music.

Except when indicated otherwise (for Polyphonic or Orchestral Masses), Gregorian Chant Propers and Ordinaries of the Mass are sung every Sunday at the 11:00 a.m. Ordinary Form of the Mass (2002 Missale Romanum) and the 12:30 p.m. Extraordinary Form of the Mass (1962 Missale Romanum). All music is sung in the context of the Latin Liturgy. Unless otherwise noted, the music is rendered by the parish choirs.
